makings of a great day

You know it's going to be a great day when... 

You get all this produce for $15 (check it out bountifulbaskets.org)

Blueberry muffin mini-wheats? Where have you been all my life?

You have a new magazine in the mail! And you know it's going be amazing when the cover says "Save Your Knees," and has rock hard abs on the cover.

Pink Lady Apples are in season; Best. Apples. Ever.

Frank, the cookie jar, is chilling in the kitchen while you do some hard core baking.

Waking up to a great hair day, without doing any work.

Your dog is pumped to hang out with you and always wants to play.

PS: This lil' chump is 4 years old and he just learned to catch a toy in his mouth yesterday! Maybe your kid can walk and talk, but my dog can catch a toy in his mouth.  It's pretty amazing.  I mean he probably catches it 5 times out of 10 when I throw it directly at his face with no arc.

That's some serious skill.

Are you watching LDS General Conference?

I am.  I think these gentlemen are pretty darn special.

• you wake up early, but not to go to work, to pick up your bountiful basket
• you make an executive decision to abstain from capital letters for the day
• you buy dean's zesty guacomole dip at 8:00 a.m., eat it at 10:45 a.m. and decide it is not quite the guac for you
• you read a stranger's blog for at least 45 minutes while shows on E! (guess I can capitalize that) play in the background about celebrities and their clothes
• you take a nap around 10
• biff takes a nap around ten resting his head on your leg
• you see your husband's ex-girlfriend's husband (did you follow that one...?) working at walmart at 8:00 am (who doesn't know you at all, you've just seen his face on facebook) and you remember: oh yeah, so glad I don't work in retail anymore, and oh yeah so glad I got be the one who married lee.
• you pretend to do laundry
• you are excited to go the gym, make a yummy dinner and {finally} watch the biggest loser
• you write on the blog and try to decide if one of your bullet points is too rude to publish, but decide to go with it because hello, it's saturday
• your parent conferences are over!
• you have decided to dedicate the day to doing nothing, unless that something makes you smile
  
• you decide it's high time for a pointless trip to target

and with that I'm off for an adventure.
